Sentencing was set for June 20 in the case of a private investigator who pleaded guilty to identity theft and conspiracy charges in the federal investigation of Hewlett-Packard Co.’s ill-fated boardroom spying probe.

Bryan Wagner, 29, of Littleton, Colo., pleaded guilty to the two felony counts during his initial appearance in San Jose federal court. As part of the plea deal, Wagner admitted to illegally obtaining Social Security numbers for at least two journalists, as well as two former HP directors and their family members.

His lawyer said Wagner would testify for the prosecution as it pursued other people tied to the scandal.
